60s Group Manfred Mann Still Touring Nearly 60 Years After Debut Hit

Ever wonder what happened to the original Manfred Mann band of "Do Wah Diddy" fame? Turns out they're still around, only without Manfred himself. They now call themselves the Manfreds, and despite the fact some of them are near 80, they're still touring in the U.K. 

Among the revelations in this story from The Guardian - a stupid rule forced them not to record a number of tunes, including "Build Me Up Buttercup," which went to The Foundations. 

60s hitmakers Manfred Mann: ‘I’ve sung this 10,000 times and never liked it!’
